The new outdoor sport called G-Ball was created by Gregory Peterson of Minnesota USA. He has been developing it since 2014, and hopes to make this sport popular. In G-Ball you use a tennis ball and you try to pass it to your teammates and then you try and shoot it into the goal by throwing it in. Bodychecking can be involved so you can try and get the ball back in your team's possession. You can take five steps with the ball but then you have to bounce it off the ground for every step after that.
Game Rules
- You can only check people when they have possession of the ball
